I did some brick work at the new house today. I’ve never done something like that or even watched it done by someone else. Still, it came out okay and was satisfying work too. It was a patch job where a coal shute door had been—roughly 3 x 4 and two bricks thick. Next time I’ll do a better job but this was good enough for what it was and for a first effort. At least at the end of the day, I could say, “I did that. I accomplished something.” There were measurable results. I don’t get a lot of that in pastoral ministry.
